In the United States, politics has become increasingly nationalized in recent years as voter decision-making is now driven by partisan or national political forces rather than the attributes of individual candidates. Indeed, voters now seem more concerned with which of the two national parties will be in power across all levels of government as opposed to which candidate will represent them individually. The phenomenon has now reached levels unseen since the nineteenth century, when the party ballot was in use and voters were generally unable to select among individual candidates. Nationalized Politics asks and answers the question, "how has nationalization influenced elections across different political eras?" Jamie L. Carson, Joel Sievert, and Ryan D. Williamson look at historical variation in nationalization through an analysis of congressional elections from 1840 to 2020. By examining roughly 180 years of elections, the authors leverage considerable differences in electoral competition, electoral rules, nationalization, polarization, and partisan advantage via the incumbency advantage. Moreover, Carson, Sievert, and Williamson employ a unique survey design to capture citizen attitudes toward the nationalization of politics to further consider the question of how nationalization is currently shaping politics. Providing a comprehensive history of US congressional elections, Nationalized Politics illustrates the roots of the current electoral landscape in the US.

David Mayhew’s 1974 thesis on the “electoral connection” and its impact on legislative behavior is the theoretical foundation for research on the modern U.S. Congress. Mayhew contends that once in office, legislators pursue the actions that put them in the best position for reelection. Carson and Sievert examine how electoral incentives shaped legislative behavior throughout the nineteenth century by looking at patterns of turnover in Congress; the renomination of candidates; the roles of parties in recruiting candidates and their broader effects on candidate competition; and, finally by examining legislators’ accountability. The results have wide-ranging implications for the evolution of Congress and the development of legislative institutions over time.

This book brings together a group of respected congressional election scholars to explore how and why the 2022 midterm congressional elections unfolded as they did.The 2022 midterm congressional elections were full of surprises. Most political observers expected the Republicans to gain substantial majority in House of Representatives, but instead, they secured a narrow majority in the House and lost control of the Senate. So, what happened? Did former President Donald Trump have a negative effect on Republican prospects in both the House and Senate? What was the role of recent abortion decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court in shaping outcomes in House and Senate elections? Did redistricting play a major part in shaping the electoral context in a way that favoured one party or the other? What about candidate quality— that is, did variation in the quality of congressional candidates matter? What was the role of social media in the 2022 congressional elections? In this book, the authors explore these important questions.This book will appeal to scholars, students, and political analysts interested in U.S. elections, contemporary U.S. politics, public policy, and political behaviour.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Political Marketing.
